Are you trying to make a fire proof car?

I don't know the heat index of carbon fiber off hand or what type of resin is used, I do know the next generation of supersonic transport is using this material.

The Aerion airframe will be constructed largely of carbon fiber composite structures, with titanium used for leading edges and some internal structures.

Construction of the aircraft will include use of carbon fibers (fuselage, wings, engine nacelles, tail), aluminum, steel and corrosion-resistant titanium (wing leading edges).

That image above might be a mock-up, not sure.

In the co-curing method, preformed uncured parts are placed surface to surface on a carefully made mold, squeezed together with a vacuum bag, and placed in a large pressure vessel called an autoclave. Here they are subjected to high pressure and temperature while the epoxy cures. In the co-bonding process, preformed and pre-cured parts are glued together with epoxy, and the glue joints are cured using the vacuum bag and autoclave method.
